Your image of Williamsburg is 30 years out of date. North Williamsburg has been hipsterville for at least 25 years. Satmar Hasids are more in South Williamsburg

Gee, the area isn't all that large to divide north and south. I would head in on the Williamsburg bridge (the WORST bridge for a '66 Dart with skinny tires) and head towards Greenpoint (which in those days still had a Polish element. The hipsters were just coming in, and I always saw the hasidim in the area just off of the bridge.

I have had no reason to go to NYC since 1997. I don't even fly into JFK or LaGuardia. It sounds like I've missed nothing except a decline.
